Abstract:
A method (and system) of predicting a thermal state of a transient thermal system, includes combining sensor outputs and thermal parameters to construct a consistent set of estimates of internal temperature of a transient thermal system.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a storage medium and a method for scanning a storage medium. SOLUTION: The storage medium (1) for storing data in the form of marks (5) is scanned by an array of probes (2) for mark detecting purposes in a scanning mode. The storage medium (1) has fields (4) with each field (41, 42) to be scanned by an associated one of the probes (21). At least one of the fields (42) has marks representing operational data for operating the scanning mode. Scanning parameter are computed from the operational data and the scanning mode is adjusted according to the computed parameters. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for optimizing heat transfer with electronic components. SOLUTION: A heat transfer assembly comprises a printed circuit board assembly that supports an electronic component assembly including one or more semiconductor chips. A heat sink assembly is adapted to be placed in thermal engagement with the one or more semiconductor chips. A loading assembly is included for loading the one or more semiconductor chips toward engagement with the heat sink assembly. An encapsulating mechanism that contains a sufficient amount of a thermally conductive medium is provided to transfer heat between the surfaces of one or more of the semiconductor chips and the heat sink assembly. The thermally conductive medium fills every gap or space between the one or more semiconductor chips and the heat sink assembly. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
A system for mounting a hard disk enclosure (HDE), includes a casing pivotably mounted to minimize at least one of settle-out dynamics, external rotational vibration, and emitted vibration, the casing allowing the HDE to rotate substantially freely, wherein the center of gravity of the HDE is substantially the same as a pivot point of the casing. Further, a computer chassis includes a housing, at least one disk drive assembly for being housed by the housing, and a plurality of theta-mounts integrally built within the housing.
Abstract:
A system for mounting a head/disk assembly (HDA), of the type including at least one information storage disk, a spindle on which said disk is rotatabl y mounted and a rotary actuator for positioning at least one head relative to the disk comprises a support structure and means (87, 83) for mounting the H DA on the support structure to permit a limited amount of substantially free rotation in reaction to movement of the actuator thereby to reduce vibration in the HDA. The HDA may be part of a hard disk enclosure (HDE) or an entire hard disk drive (HDD) mounted in a computer chassis.
